Removal of spikes in LRT stations created alot of poo issues

Recently, I realised that for some LRT stations, they have removed the spikes from the structures and fittings at the top of the stations. I'm not sure if they take the LRTs regularly but this is a very big mistake.

In fact, ask those responsible to visit those LRT stations and they will start to see immediately the result of their "cost saving". Bird poo on the floor, bird poo staining the structures and fittings at the top of the stations.

The spikes are there for a reason, and is especially important for those stations that are above ground because we have a lot of birds flying around in Singapore. In fact, we cannot even resolve the bird problem in Orchard Road. Just look at the pavements below those trees.

I hope they will start putting the spikes back to those overhead stations. How expensive can those spikes be? Or they find that bird poo stains are a better alternative?
